We are the Chemawa American staff.
We welcome you to Chemawa with
this letter:
Dear Fellow Schoolmates:
We hope that you have had a very
good start and we welcome the new
and the old students to Chemawa for
the school year 71-72.
Our paper is for the students and
will be put out by the students. The
paper is for information and opinion
on what is going on around campus.
We hope to keep you always informed.
Our paper does not want to let you
down. So if you have any suggestions
please let us know.
To make this a good paper we hope
to get all you want to hear about to
make this school year the best in
every way.
This is an editorial page, on which
will be expressed the opinions of the
things going on around campus. If
you want your opinion expressed,
please write your “ Letter to the Edi
tor” . We want to hear from you.
So with this, and your thoughts in
mind, the Chemawa American staff
says to the students, “ L et’s make
71-72 happen!”
Search & Rescue
Chemawa’s Search and Rescue Ex
plorer Post 123 meets every Wednes
day night from 7:00 to 8:30. Various
subjects are covered at each meeting.
On October 9-10, Post 123, along
with Post 18 of Marion County Search
and Rescue, took to the field for their
first training exercise.
To qualify for the Search and Res
cue team, a student must be in Ex
plorer Post 123 and qualify through
the Marion County Sheriff’s office.
One weekend out of every month,
Post 123 will be out in the field to
practice what they learned during the
Wednesday night meetings.
Mr. Smith, the advisor, says, “ I
think that search and rescue is one of
the most important things that a stu
dent or young boy could learn, becaus e
we teach first aid, map and compass
reading, wilderness and navigation.
This could help you.”
Mr. Smith is looking forward to hav
ing 20 men this year. If any boy is
interested, he should come to the next
Search and Rescue meeting, held each
Wednesday night.
C hoir and Band
Need M o r e People
Mr. Kent Garlinghouse, Chemawa’s
new music teacher, has 3 choirs in
his department this year: Beginning
Choir, A-Choir and Choral Ensemble.
He hopes to work hard with all three
choirs for programs and concerts this
year.
He is trying to build a choir pro
gram for all the students who are
interested in singing with his three
different choirs. He noted that any
one who likes to sing is welcome to
try out.
Mr. Garlinghouse is also looking
for a rock band to go with the choir.
He also needs a guitar and some rock
instruments that can be played by a
student who wants to learn or who
knows how to play already.
Mr. Garlinghouse also said that A-
Choir and Choral Ensemble need boys
who like to sing and will welcome as
many boys to his choir as will try
out.
The Chemawa Band will play at
the games and Pep rallies this year.
Mr. Dennis Surmon, our band teacher,
is spending the first few weeks work
ing up numbers with the band. The
band will be playing for our home
games this fall and winter.
Mr. Surmon has 3 different bands:
Concert Band, Red Band and Begin
ning Band. He added that he wished
he had forty more students in the band.
